Let me tell you, it’s not every day you hear someone say they’re going to tackle their bucket list in their 60s. But that’s exactly what Marie Osmond is doing. Even though 2020 was just starting, Marie already had a clear vision for what she wanted to accomplish this year. On the January 8 episode of The Talk, she unveiled her vision board to cohosts Sharon Osbourne, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Sheryl Underwood. And let me tell you, it’s nothing short of inspiring.
Completing What She Started: Marie’s Academic Journey
Marie, now 60, has lived a life filled with accomplishments, but one thing has always been missing—her college diploma. As she shared with the audience, “I’m going to get my diploma. I’m going to get my degree.” The crowd erupted in cheers because, honestly, who doesn’t love a good comeback story? Marie explained that life circumstances kept her from finishing school. Between her career, becoming a mom, and raising her kids as a single parent, higher education took a backseat. But no more excuses. “I never got to go and finish college because of my work and I had a baby and I was a single mom and I had to keep working,” she admitted. Now, she’s ready to make up for lost time.
Pursuing Passions Beyond the Stage
But here’s the kicker—Marie isn’t just sticking to arts and performance, her original field of study. She’s thinking bigger. When cohost Sheryl Underwood, 56, asked about her degree plans, Marie lit up with excitement. “I was in arts and performance, but I might even go into religious studies because I love it. I love all religion,” she said. You can feel her passion for learning and growth radiating off the screen. This isn’t just about getting a piece of paper; it’s about exploring new interests and expanding her horizons.

Striving for Balance in Life
Marie isn’t just focused on academics. She’s also determined to make changes in other areas of her life. One of her biggest goals? Spending more quality time with her husband, Steve Craig. But that’s not all. She wants to achieve balance in every aspect of her life—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. “It’s like a chair,” she explained. “One of the things is I can get out of balance, and I just want to be more balanced in all those areas. It’s like a leg on a chair, and if you don’t spend time on one of them, you’ll fall over.” It’s a powerful metaphor that reminds us all how important it is to nurture every part of ourselves.
The Sky’s the Limit: Marie’s Daredevil Dream
Now, let’s talk about the big one—the thing that might make some people nervous. What do you think Will Smith did for his 50th birthday? That’s right—he went skydiving. And guess what? Marie’s following in his footsteps. “I am going skydiving,” she announced, leaving the audience gasping in awe. “I’ve always wanted to, but when I had children, I said, ‘I can’t do it.’ But now I’m a grandma, and I’m going skydiving.” Talk about living life to the fullest!
